What the people want and what
the Democrats have promised is a
reform Of the tariff, which, while dis
posing Of tue accommodating surplus,
and which, while reducing the revc-
nueS to the needs of an economical
government, will remove arbitrary
restrictions from trade and give to
the consumer some of the privileges
of which the tariff has deprived him
for the benefit of the manufacturer.
A revision of the tariff which will
enlarge the free list and reduce the
rate of taxation on other articles can
compass the object In view, and res
deem the the promises made bv the
party. Nothing less than this will
accomplish any permanent good, or
prevent continued agitation Of the
subject. To insist on a reduction
of the whiskey tax and the abolition
OF the tobacco tax, is merely a sub
terfuge 1t is the strategy of a few
desperate politicians who, masque>
rading as Democrats, have been
serving most effectively the purposes
of the Republican organization.-

more than probable that the oppo- site will be the case.
 It has been hinted that the new commissioner would appoint as his assistant member of the Labor Party. Why?
 When the British government wants to sllencea q particularly obnoX- ious agitator, it confers upon him some office, and if he IS not made of true metal, he accepts and is silent. Personal interest and the prospect of "protection" does the work.
 But the Labor Party is opposed to it's members accepting office from the reactlonary politicians who are Gin possession" at present; and we hope that none of us will be found willing to accept any position at the hands of the new Commissioner. The Labor Party must exist upon its own merits, and it's members should not by any act of theirs bol- ster up the present administration to the detriment of a movement which promises better administra tIon of public affairs. If the party in power cannot find the right kind of material to carry on the work of a labor bureau, and the people real ly want such an institution, there is a better way to arrive at a satisfacto- ry solution than by loaning our forces to the capitalists "just for effect"
 More than this: If any member of the Labor Party should accept any position at the hands of a politician in office, he should, for the benefit of the party and independent poli- tics, be expelled from the Labor Party.

He be- licves men can vote upon tariff ques- tions, shout for somebody, carry torches when nothing is at stake; but let us propose that men vote upon questions of the capital they use every day in their work and it is slavery. We refuse to regard such criticism as valid. We see men working for a dcspotic boss, and it looks like slavery; while men using their own capital appear to us like freemen. XENo.

II ENCEFORTH WAR.

The question now is, will the working people accept the issue forced upon them by both the old parties: Will they stand out like honest, brave men, and say to the politicians and demagogues, since you have banded together to defeat the party of labor, thereby showing yourselves to be enemies of the working people, and since you have proven, by your action, that you only seek our further enslavement; since you chose to make war upon us by dishonest means, by intmlda- tion, fraud and open violence, why then, we accept the issue forced upon us, and hereafter we shall know you for what you are, distinct and open enemies of labor and of all efforts of the working people to elevate them selves to higher plane of civiliza- tion. Hencefcrth it shall be war between you, who represent the pal aces of the rich, and ourselves, the dwellers in novels. - Chicago Labor Enguirer.

PATRIOTIC BOODLERS.

The tricks of the politicians are various. In the recent contest in Chicago, and the fusion combina- tlon of Republicans and Democrats against the United Labor Party, We are told how the allied forces indus triously circulated flaming dodgers claiming the issue to be the Ameri- can flag against the red. How pa- trlotlc some people become for reye- nue purposes only? Yet they would steal under the red just as cheerful ly as they would under the red
 white and blue. A large number of those who ostentatiously parade their patriotism would on opportu- nity sell their flag and country to the devil for a fair consideration The black flag would be a far more appropriate color for the poodle pa- trlots of Chicago -SOuh Hest,

down to places with few Hundred voters. All thls looks like preparing the way for a combination next year between the two old parties upon 8 presidential ticket, in case it should appear before then that that the new political forces now rallying under the United Labor Party are likely to threaten the supremacy of the Money-Power in the campaign of 1888. In view of the signs of the times and the necessity of monopoly, it is not impossible that the two principal contestants in the presl- dentlal canvass of next year may be the combination which our Milwau- kee correspondent of last week dub bed the "democran-republcratic party" on one side, and the Union Labor Party on the other. In such case, the proper candidate for the "dem. rep" party would be a plckled mugwump. -J0ha Swlnt0a'S Paper.

SOCIAL SCIENCE FOR THE
 PEOPLE,.
SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTION.

Look at what our present society gives us daily. At the best, it gives us long hours of work and scanty wages. It has nothing better to offer to the wage worker. Society dooms him and the farmer to pay all the expenses of State and Federal governments, to fight all it's battles by sea and land, to be the hire ling and servants of its aristocrats. The wage-worker has to build and defray the expense of every prison and poorhouse.
 All wealth comes from labor. The millionaire may boast of his wealth, but it all comes from labor. Every city, railroad, factory and manufactured arti- cle comes from labor. They are products of the toll of wage-worker and farmer. Always keep this in view. The "boss" may tell you that you are dependent on him for work, and would starve without him, that the factory and machinery are his. We'll, where did he get them? Evi- dently from the profits on the labor of those he employs. All the vast accumu- lations of society, no matter in what form, rest on the labor of farmer and wage-worker, and came from their labor.
 What encouragement is there to work under such conditions? You may toll on year after year, building cities, facto- ries and railroads, but you can never possess them under the present arrange mepts of society. Interest, rent and profit take them from you as fast as ere ated. The divisions of society into en- ployers and employed insure serfdom and poverty of wage-workers. There is no help for them except in social recon struction.
 And what is social reconstruction ? Simply arrangement of all industries on a cooperative basis, under the con trol of the workers themselves. And what would such change accomplish It would furnish constant work, with short hours and liberal wages. It would cut of the burden of the useless classes. It would admit of the accumulation of wealth by the men who work. It would put an end to tyranny and slavery. It would give wage-workers decent habita- tions instead of tenement-houses and novels. It would furnish influences for the enlightenment and progress of the millions. It would banish crime and in- temperance. # tco"td pldee iH the hands cf labor the control y oH the conditions that afect h.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
NURSING ANARCHISM.

When Chief EbersoId of Chicago on election morning called the po- licemen together and gave them point blank instructions to work their best, and use every effort to se- cure the election of Roche, the Re- publican candidate for mayor, and the defeat of Nelson, the United Labor candidate for the same office, he did more to breed and build up Anarchism in Chicago than hun drcd Spieses or Parsons could do. The police obeyed orders, and the United Labor vote was unquestion- ably largely lessened by this direct and wholly illegal and outrageous in- reference of the police.
 Mayor Harrison and the Democrat ic managers of Chicago, after the nomination of the United Labor and the Republican tickets, tried by ev- cry possible means to induce the United Labor Party to fuse with the Democrats in order to defeat Roche and tho Republican ticket-but the Labor Party rejected all these offers to dicker with scorn, declaring that they would fuse with neither of the old parties, but would stand by their principles and their straight Labor ticket.
 Then Mayor Harrison and the Chicago Democracy, and the Ch!ca- go Democratic newspapers, all at once made the discovery the United Labor party was "the representation of Anarchy that it was in the hands of Socialist managers, that its success would be in fact a "ver- dict in favor of riot and the Hay market slaughter" and more of the same kind of ridiculous rot. Then it was that Mayor Harrison, who is really the head of the Chicago police force, determined to use that police to defeat the party he had vainly en- deavored to induce to jon hands with the Chicago Democracy. The police force was so used in the most shameless, open and interruptions manner-and the Chicago Republi- cans, Democrats and the police com bined succeeded in polling fifty-one thousand votes to twenty-three thou sand for the United Labor candidate for mayor Very likely if the State military forces had been called out and instructed to bulldoze the Chi cago voters in the interest of Mir. Roche the Labor vote might have been still further reduced.
 Anarchy had its birth in Chicago in 1877, in the wholly illegal. out. rageous and murderous attack by the Chicago police upon body of peaceable workingmen-and the open, scandalors and unlawful bull dozing of voters by the Chicago DO. lice last Tuesday cannot fail tc strengthen that element Tn Chicago which sees little hope of good in any except revolutionary methods. The Chicago police, and those who are responsible for their outrageous in- reference in elections, are most effective nurses of Anarchism. - GraHd Rdpjds HwkmaR.

IRISH AND ENGLISH.

If there IS one thing more to be admired than others in the Socialist propaganda it is the obIiteration of nationality lines and the beautiful gospel of the universal brotherhood of man. Our friends and comrades in Great Britain have accomplished much for the future welfare of their fellow workmen, the .cruelly treated Irish tenantry, by their efforts in wiping ont sectional prejudice and the propagation of Socialistic ideas among the workmen of England.
 The great antl-coercion demon stration held in London last Mon day was confessedly the largest as semblage ever gathered together in that great metropolis for common cause, and that the cause of hu- manity.
 One of the speakers was the Mayor of Dublin, who made an impassionod speech, in which he declared that the Irish people were not the implacablc enemies of the English workingmen; :; and the multitude of English toilers testified by their presence and spirit that they were the friends of the op- pressed workers accross the Irish sea.
 Michael Davltt stood upon a So- cialist platform and prophesed the destruction of the bridge of hate erected by the capitalists, and Com rade John Burns assured his hearers that English workmon were ready to help the Irish whenever they de- cided to revolt against misgoyern- ment.
 While the workers of the world will hear with gladness of the fra ternal spirit prevailing among the more intelligent English and Irish proletarians, such news will sorely vex the capitalistic exploiters, for they well know that with increasing knowledge and fraternity among their wage slaves, the era of exploit ation Is drawing to a close, and Labor is about to claim its own.
 Socialists, especially, view with extreme satisfaction such demonstra- tions of fraternal good will between peoples artifcialy and wickedlv kept apart in order that a blood sucking class of landlords might re- tain control over them and exploit their labor.
 May the enemies of the working people of England and Ireland soon meet with successful resistence from united proletariat

INSERGOLL'S SOPHlSTRY.
Be ye separate

The Cristian world may take hope again, if Col. lngersoll has been crlt- icising the Bible as he now criticises socialism--without any knowledge of it. In the North American Re rie7p he says
 "ln ordinary systems of slavery, there are some masters, n few are supposed to be frec but in a socialistic state all would be slaves.
 Slavery is Q relation which implies at least two ranks, the ruler and the ruled. No one but Bob. lngersoll has ever conceived of slave without master. Suppose we imply by So- cialism, the elimination of all male citizens, instead of all tyrants and landlords; then the Colouel's logic would shine forth as follows:
 "m ordinary systems of polygamy there are some men; a few are supposed to be husbands; but in a socialistic state all would be wives.'
 Then he proceeds to relate the dog and wolf story. A fat dog met a lean wolf and invited him to share his fortune. The wolf noticed the dogs collar and said he had rather be hungry than to be a slave. The dog. with his collar and chain, to tie him up at night, is compared to ser wants of the State, say a mail clerk or a postman. But the postman Is not chained up at night when the mail | is distributed. When his task is fin ished freedom begins. And no one compels him to commence another days work If he desires otherwise. Where is the parallel anyhow? Is Bob, foollng with words? No being | is a slave who consents to the bonds. We always see the dog come home to hls kennel; and the postman tries to keep his position, sometimes pay ing two per cent. of his salary for campaign purposes, His position must be worth paying for. With him, slavery comes high but he must have it. But after all, is there any trace of slavery in socialism: In. gersol is thoroughly democratic, be lievcS in cur system of national ana local government, and popular cleo tion of administrators of public wealth. He already sees some wealtl in public affairs, but says no nor, enterprises must be turned over t( the State, county, town, or munici pal governments, because 1t would l be slavery. Yet he does not poin

Here is q bloodthlrsty paragraph from a republican " newspaper, the Chicago Erening Posi-
 What Chicago needs is mayor, or a sheriff, who is not afraid to use cold steel and powder and lead"
 If such sentiments were uttered by workingmen's papers there would be a howl about anarchism " and |" riot" but, coming from a capital gistic sheet, and the prospective vic- tins of cold steel, etc., being work ingmen, it passes as orthodox. Some of these fine days it may come to pass that the republican editor will be " hoist by his own pctard."
